Anime Themes Recreated with Household Items

A few days ago, Japanator posted this fun tribute to K-On!!, where a group of musicians recreate the opening and closing theme of the anime with household items. It looks like the video stems from Nico Nico Douga. K-On!! is the second season popular anime about a group of high school girls who form a band (the first season is known as K-On!). The show has been getting a good amount of buzz in within the U.S. anime fandom for a while now and, at this year's Otakon, Bandai announced that it would be releasing an English dub of the first season.

  Having watched the first season of K-On!! a few months ago, I cannot recommend it enough. I truly have not had such a good time with a ‘coming of age’ anime in a long time. All I can hope is that the English voice dub is up to the task (but I tend to dislike dub so I won’t hold my breath).

    In general, the English dubs are just horrible. I plan to skip the dub entirely.

  I was watching K-On related youtube crap all evening(coverbands, etc).

  I go to boingboing for a change of pace and lo and behold: K-on weirdness. Ugh.

  For this geezer, where the tune is from matters a lot less than the clever instruments and awesome musicianship on display here. Truly fantastic! I’d love to see/hear more.

  Lots of highschool/college aged kids in Japan have that horse head mask for some reason.
